The masses of water covering the Earth include the oceans (94 %), glaciers (1,7 %), and groundwater (4,2 %). The water capacity on Earth or the hydrosphere is 1.5 billion Km 3. Fresh water makes up 2,9 % of the globe. The fresh water used to satisfy human activities comes from surface waters (e.g. rivers) and groundwater, both of which represent only 1,25 % of the globe. Fresh water is therefore a limited, invaluable and rare resource on which human activities and natural life depend. THE ENVIRONMENT

The normal chemical composition of air consist of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% water vapor and other gases (e.g. Argon). The present day average temperature of the atmosphere is around 14°C. The green house effect is a natural phenomenon which causes the atmosphere to reheat due to the presence of various gases, notably carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and methane (CH4). These gases block infrared radiation emitted by the Earth. The ozone layer (O3) forms naturally when solar radiation comes into contact with oxygen. It controls the overexposure of ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause superficial burns. THE ENVIRONMENT

The organic matter (OM) of soil is made up of living organisms (plants, bacteria, fungi, etc.) and of organic residues (decomposed matter). It plays a fertile role in ecosystems and in agriculture. Its main environmental function is to preserve soil from erosion, protect the water supply, and to entrap carbon. The state of the soil therefore depends on a complex equilibrium where climate appears to be dominant: climate => vegetation soil <= parent rock THE ENVIRONMENT

15. Quiz Key Points Exercises Key points : The fresh water is an invaluable and limited resource, used by humans in its liquid form. Water is regenerated during its cycle. The air made up of fume, airstreams, dust, and fog makes up the planet’s composition, temperature and climate. The soil permanently undergoes percolation, infiltration and erosion due to the surface activity. It is a resource structured in layers. The subsoil contains sheets of water. The vibrations of noise spread with a certain speed in solids, liquids and gas. Noise is a sound wave. Nature is made up of ecosystems. The protection of species aims at keeping a rich biodiversity. The landscape is a visual design. Session 1: A global approach of the environment Introduction Water Air Soil and subsoil Noise The natural environment The landscape THE ENVIRONMENT

19. The aquatic environment is sensitive to several biological, chemical, and physical parameters. Example : An oasis fed by ground water empties its out by self evaporation due to the sun. The slightest deviation in water can dry out the oasis and in time hinder the aquatic life and then the terrestrial life. It is closely tied to the water table which is made up of rain water from high plateaus. These plateaus must be protected in order to guarantee the survival of the oasis. The physical parameters are morphological structures (forms and relief) with running waters, streams, rivers, swamps, marches, lakes, ponds, oasis,… The sensibility is induced by the quantity of water that circulates and its turnover. The aquatic environment (1/3) THE ENVIRONMENT Session 2 : The sensibility of the environmental surroundings Introduction Aquatic environment Atmospheric environment Terrestrial environment Noise Natural environment The landscape Quiz Key Points Exercises

20. Example : In a river, one observes an untreated discharge of water from a highway. When winter approaches, to avoid black ice, large quantities of salt are spread on the highways. This phenomenon induces, in the river, an elevation in salinity resulting in the diminution of the river’s biodiversity. The chemical parameters :  the pH (acidic, neutral, basic). In water, one finds traces of metals.  the total suspended matter (TSM) that makes water appear murky.  the BOD/COD (biological/ chemical oxygen demand) that allows for a self-purification.  the halogenated elements not naturally present.

21. The biological parameters mediates the sensitivity of aquatic species with the normalized global biological index (NGBI). One studies the aquatic life and obtains a note that provides the properties of a body of water. Biological diversity is the essential component of clean water. If it disappears, the water quality degrades very fast becoming unsanitary and toxic for the terrestrial life that it serves. The aquatic environment (3/3) Example : In a river, one observes an untreated water discharge from a wastewater treatment plant. Samples of animals taken near the discharge with a dip net show a disappearance of individuals and species.

22. A prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause aging, skin cancer, the appearance of cataracts and a weakening in the immune system. A decline of the stratospheric ozone causes the production of the tropospheric ozone, which is harmful to the health. The ozone layer is very sensitive to chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). On security data sheets for products, an ozone depletion factor is defined. The more the factor approaches 1, the more the gas is a depleting substance. The atmospheric environment (1/3) THE ENVIRONMENT Session 2 : The sensibility of the environmental surroundings Introduction Aquatic environment Atmospheric environment Terrestrial environment Noise Natural environment The landscape Quiz Key Points Exercises

23. The greenhouse effect has an effect on the Earth's average temperature. The more the temperatures rise, the more the Earth heats up provoking strong climate modifications (global warming), which result in the thawing of glaciers, and the ocean levels to rise. For the greenhouse effect there is a global warming factor found on security data sheets. The more it increases, the more it contributes to the generation of a high greenhouse effect. Some secondary gases, which are less abundant, have a strong impact on global warming just as much as methane, CFC, HCFC (halogenated fluorocarbon). Human activities contribute as well to the greenhouse effect, but naturally in little abundance.

24. Olfactory nuisances, to which the human nose is very sensitive, are the principle cause of most complaints. Besides their sanitary aspects and “bad odors”, fumes can make the air irrespirable. The nuisance threshold is rather subjective because it depends on the tolerance of each individual. Fumes and dust (VOC = volatile organic compounds) provoke respiratory problems, particularly when fog forms. The toxicity of fumes, for example produced from a forest fire, leads to the death of living beings, while dust induced by wind spread explosive and pathogenic elements.

25. The soil, contrary to on would believe, is extremely sensitive because it take thousands of years to build up. It interacts with and maintains other environments. Its a large area for storage, filtration, and the concentration of matter. Three parameter of degradation exist : The terrestrial environment (1/3) ProblemsOriginsConsequences Physical Impermeability Loss in harvesting, loss of purification functionalities, pollution of receiving waters Compaction Erosion Chemical Acidification Modification of soil functionalities and remobilization of metals, sterilization of soils, toxicity of soils and its products Salification Biological Pesticides Loss of biodiversity, increase of chemical and physical degradation, flow of greenhouse gases Loss of organic matter THE ENVIRONMENT Session 2 : The sensibility of the environmental surroundings Introduction Aquatic environment Atmospheric environment Terrestrial environment Noise Natural environment The landscape Quiz Key Points Exercises

26. The velocity at which liquids penetrate the granular soils is very quick. Its permeability is a major factor. The permeability represents the volume of water that traverses the soil per unit time. It is expressed as the filtration velocity (K in m/s). Its porosity is also a major factor. It is the volume of liquids or air that absorbs the soil. The porosity is related to the particle-size distribution of the soil. The more the soil takes up empty spaces, the greater the porosity. An example is sand and gravel. Soil is a result of the transformation of the bed rock. Three types of soil come into play: clay, silt, and sand. The terrestrial environment (2/3) THE ENVIRONMENT Session 2 : The sensibility of the environmental surroundings Introduction Aquatic environment Atmospheric environment Terrestrial environment Noise Natural environment The landscape Quiz Key Points Exercises

27. In the subsoil, in general contains groundwater, which is sensitive if it is « free flowing » in relation to the surface and has a slow water-flow velocity. If the groundwater is captive (protected by an impermeable layer at the surface), then the problem of spills at the surface affects less the groundwater. The distance and depth of the groundwater do not affect its sensitivity, only the properties of the soil affect its quality.

28. Noise is considered as a major environmental nuisance. In all environments, noise nuisances are viewed as the most harmful of nuisances for the human population. Noise is measured with sound- level meter in decibels (dB). Every 3 dB, the noise multiplies by two (logarithmic scale). Noise, which is also sound, spreads as a sound wave. The environment is very receptive of the vibrations which can be felt by the material in which it crosses.

29. The natural environment does is not a concern for all.. Today, humans largely modify its principle sources of life. Do vegetation, the fauna, the flora, and rare species live in harmony with their environment and humans? The natural environment For example, if a species such as a rodent disappears, the balanced relationship will be modified resulting in the progressive disappearance of its predators as well as in an increased growth of vegetation, which could lead to the use of herbicides. The sensibility of a species depends on its surrounding relationships. Each relationship forms chain. The longer the chain, the more it will need to be protected. Some zones might have a total, partial, or targeted protection for a species, such as agricultural zones that directly effect humans or forest zones, which serve as a primary resource for all human needs (heat, furniture, building,…).
